Punchlines: Boston Marathon comeback

If there's one thing Americans know how to do well, it's bounce back after tragedy. And there's been no better recent display of that than this year's Boston Marathon, held in the shadows of last year's tragic bombing that killed three and injured more than 260. The event unified not just the city of Boston, but the entire nation with more than 35,000 runners participating (one group ran the equivalent of a marathon a day for nine days just to get to Boston from Tennessee to raise money for survivors of last year's bombing). And it's also fitting that, for the first time since 1983, an American, Meb Keflezighi, won the men's event. Of course, according to one comedian, that's not the name of the Boston Marathon winner, but of the woman who sang "Let it go" at the Oscars (at least it is the way John Travolta pronounces it).
